Yea!  I'm excited for today's tutorial!  I'm going to take you through the process of making freezer jam.  It's the easiest jam to make and doesn't involve hot water baths to seal and preserve it!  My husband and I make 2 batches every spring and that barely gets us until the next spring...it's SO good and tastes so fresh even after months of being in the freezer!  I had one neighbor in Texas that was more than willing to watch our cats while we were away on vacation, as long as his payment was at least one container of Strawberry Jam.  (His wife told me later he ate the whole thing in one sitting with crackers and she never got … [Read more...]

You know how I love to incorporate lots of different mediums for projects and use stamps for more than just paper crafts!  Be sure to go visit BurdaStyle and let them know how you'd use the stamps for your sewing projects!  I'm giving away a couple of stamp sets and it's super easy to enter!  While you're there be sure to check out their sewing patterns!  Some of my favorites include: The A-Plus A Line Skirt The Anna Boho Bag and the Talea Jacket (I think that this one would look awesome in a lighter weight, fun fabric like an Amy Butler or Heather Bailey fabric!) … [Read more...]

I am super excited to be able to get back to this blog! New stamps for here and … [Read more...]

Meet Tiffany! My name is Tiffany and I'm an Army wife and SAHM to two little rascals, CJ and Liam. In my spare time, I volunteer for the Fort Irwin Spouse's Club, Mothers of Preschoolers, and 2/11 HHT Family Readiness Group. I live in the Mojave Desert, so keeping busy is key to survival!

Besides being a lover of paper and ink, I find myself hoarding ribbons of all sorts- the smoother the better! I enjoy the combination of kraft … [Read more...]
